I have a rental property withvinylsiding. Thesidingis white and

There is a light brownstainforming near the the outside light
fixture. Not sure what is causing it.


Near the bulb or below the fixture?


Any ideas on how to remove thisstainand prevent it in the future?
I've tried Ajax with no success.

The stain is all around the fixture, even above where the fixture
would cast light.
The bulb is a low-wattage fluorescent bulb.


Bugs, maybe? Have you had it on at night?

The light is certainly on at night a lot.
There's a light on the side of the house, but that light does not have
the staining.
Could it be due to the fluorescent bulb?
Any more ideas on how to remove the stain? I have not yet tried
bleach.
